Around SBN: Carmelo Anthony, Amar'e Stoudemire Vow To Fit In With Lin

Miguel Olivo's more of a counter-puncher

White Sox Royals Fight (via fish1410)

Watch as former Padre, Miguel Olivo, charges the mound after getting hit with the pitch, and then sorta puts his dukes up and skips along, waiting for somebody to spare him from having to actually throw a punch. If you're gonna hit the guy, then hit the guy.

On the replay, you see A.J. Pierzynski doing his catcher duty by trying to grab Olivo from behind, only to get clocked. I guess Olivo just had to really warm up to the idea before actually hitting somebody.

Two great things here

Great job by the home plate ump letting the guy throw three straight pitches at Olivo’s chin.

And great porn star/WWE hair style on Pierzynski.

Olivo es un idioto,

Looks like he changed his mind about charging the mound when he was halfway there.

Chan Ho YARD!

nah

he hesitated, and then he put his arms like he was ready to “fight.” for once i’d like to see someone charge it all the way. not hesitate and wait for someone to hold them back, a la derek lee.

I'd punch AJ too

even if he’s walking down the street near a preschool, I’d go out of my way to sock him.

AJ Smith?

I couldn't agree more. The guy is a total A.

Yes

The guy with the slow fastball was trying to hit you with the bases loaded. Apparently logic isn’t Miguel Olivo’s strong suit.

That’s up there with Pujols thinking Adam Eaton was trying to hit him with a curveball (hey, in both cases, the catcher was the guy who got clocked)

I don't have to always be right. I just have to always think I'm right.

Great moments in broadcasting

about 5:15 into this, the White Sox announcers describe their pitcher – who had just thrown three straight brushback/beanballs, as a ‘victim of circumstance’. It is a great example of announcers talking out of their butts just long enough that they start to believe their own farts are burps.
